Ever wonder why God picked you—messy, coffee-stained, half-awake, and occasionally arguing with the printer like it’s demon-possessed? Spoiler alert: He did it on purpose.

In this episode of Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud, we’re diving into what it really means to be Eklektoi—the chosen kind. Not elite. Not entitled. Entrusted.

You’ll learn how divine identity and daily assignment collide, why the Breastplate of Righteousness and Shoes of Peace are your “Chosen Gear,” and how to walk out that calling without tripping over pride or fear.

So grab your armor, plug in your earbuds, and let’s talk about what it means to live like someone Heaven hand-picked for purpose.

Armor On. Faith Strong. You’re the Chosen Kind.

Anthem:

“Chosen Kind”

[Intro – Spoken Whisper or Soft Vocal]Before time began to turn, You already knew my name.Chosen, not by chance—but by design.

[Verse 1]Before the stars learned how to shine,You spoke my name through space and time.Not for merit, not for fame—You carved my purpose, called my name.

[Pre-Chorus]When shadows fall and doubts arise,Your truth still echoes through my life.

[Chorus]I’m the chosen kind, not the frozen kind,Moving with Your mission on my mind.Grace-forged, peace-shod, standing tall—When You call, I give it all.

[Verse 2]World says hide, You say go,Into the noise where mercy grows.Faith beats fear with steady sound,Holy ground on battle ground.

[Chorus – Repeat]I’m the chosen kind, not the frozen kind,Moving with Your mission on my mind.Grace-forged, peace-shod, standing tall—When You call, I give it all.

[Verse 3]Breastplate shining, heart aligned,Feet of peace in ordered stride.Truth is armor, love’s design—Heaven’s banner over mine.

[Pre-Chorus – Repeat]When storms surround and hope runs dry,Your voice reminds me who I am inside.

[Bridge]Chosen not to boast but build,Not to sit but to be filled.Grace ignites this battle line—We fight with love; the victory’s Thine!

[Chorus – Reprise, Full Power]I’m the chosen kind, not the frozen kind,Fire in my soul, peace in my stride.Grace-forged, truth-born, standing tall—You gave it all, I give it all.

[Final Verse / Outro – Soft & Reflective]From chosen seed to chosen stand,We’re light deployed through every land.Till every knee and tongue confess,The Chosen King’s own righteousness.

[Final Chorus – Gentle Fade]We’re the chosen kind, in Your design,Forever Yours, our hearts entwined.Not of this world, yet sent to find—The lost, the weary… the chosen kind.

[Tag / Whisper Outro]Chosen kind… still marching on.

[BATTLE CRY ]

“I am chosen, not by chance but by Christ.I carry His truth, wear His peace, and live His mission.The world may overlook me—but Heaven deployed me.No retreat, no regret—only forward, chosen kind!”
